As I received this product from "Lawn and Patio", one of the burner legs was sticking 6 inches thru the bottom of the original Bayou Classic box. The solution? Put it into another more flimsy box and ship it. Luckily the product itself is quite sturdy and didn't appear damaged.
However, I have realized that the unit did not ship with the 20 psi regulator/hose assy, but 10 psi (55000 btu) which has a different end fitting which means I will have to buy more parts to get what I want. At least another $27. The way Amazon does things it is way less than obvious what to do when something like this happens. Usually a lot of effort to get nowhere.
I believe the product itself is probably fine. I suggest buying from another vendor not associated with Amazon.

I have to admit that for the price I thought this would be just another cheaply made piece of junk from china. I haven't actually checked, but I'm pretty sure that it is made in China, but it is indeed a heavy duty piece. I was unsure of the stability from the looks of the picture, but it is made of a pretty heavy gauge steel, and I'm sure it would handle any size pot that I could put on there. The burner is a very high output which makes it practical for just about anything you could throw at it. I've searched the internet for quite some time b4 actually buying this model, and I can't imagine anything else that I've seen could be a better value.

What a fantastic burner. I purchased two and now rarely cook on my conventional stovetop. Strong power. The only few minor negatives. The paint burns off when the burner is turned on. Toxic smell.The other negative is this does not hold a low simmer well. Mabey I am doing something wrong. Other than that, wow, this saves my house from heating up, smells from fish and bacon and frying are no more. What a terrific buy. So so glad I purchased this.

We were having about 50 guests over for a Low Country Boil and had to have more than the one burner that came with our turkey fryer set. I ordered two of these burners and have no complaints whatsoever. They are much more efficient than the one we already had. They were easily lit and maintained and we were even able to lower the flame to keep the food hot but not simmering. The price is unbeatable and the shipping was very fast. There were several people there that took down the item number and where they were bought to purchase their own. Thanks so much. They will be used over and over again.

I am a homebrewer and tired of waiting to heat my mash water on the stove. Even worse, waiting to bring your 6.5 gallons of wort to a mild boil would take over a hour and a half. Purchased this burner and it brings that wort up to a boil in less than 20 minutes. This burner has saved me over 2 hours off of my brewing time. I would reccomend anyone who needs a powerful burner to pick this up. The price was amazing and the performance of this burner is amazing.
Takes 1 minute to setup, run the burner for 20-30 minutes prior use for the first time...or sand off the paint of the burner grill. Its going to smell bad but just have a fan facing it to force the smell away from your house. After that, no burnt smell issue. Not a problem for me because the performance outweights the stupidity of painting the grill.
i would give it 9/10 rating and 10/10 for the price
